Don't Like Small Talk, Love Rainy Days.

Thank God I Have Four Sons. The Mother/daughter Relationship Is One Of Mankind's Great Mysteries, And For Womankind, It Can Be Hellaciously Complicated. My Mother And I Are Quintessential Examples Of The Rewards And Frustrations, And The Joys And Infuriations It Can Yield.

Although I Was Raised Jewish, My Upbringing Didn't Include Any Formal Religious Education Or Training.

To Me, At Forty-four Years Old, My Book Was A Search For Truth And Identity.

Don't Like Small Talk, Love Rainy Days.

I Grew Up In A Dysfunctional Family.
